Discussing general practice in Scotland and England with Dr Gandalf

GPs in England and Scotland are trying to do a broadly similar job - they both work within the NHS, yet they have different contracts, different organisational and digital infrastructures and different GP clinical systems. They both face similar challenges in terms of workload, prescribing, sustainability and increased demand. Additional team members like pharmacists, physiotherapists, mental health nurses and ANPs are reshaping the way we organise care. The digital health and social care strategies in both countries are broadly similar with a focus on digital transformation and giving patients increased access to their own records. Today we discuss all of this and more with the Digital and Tech GP Dr Gandalf @drgandalf52 who gives us some advice on meeting all of these challenges and how to use some new tech tools which can help us work more efficiently, like a new tool called Nabla co-pilot which can transcribe and summarise consultations! Don’t miss it.
